Notice of Intent to Revise Operating Permits for Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators

   Under section 111(d)/129 of the Clean Air Act, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated Emission Guidelines to control the emission of designated pollutants from existing hospital/medical/infectious waste incinerators (HMIWI) (See 62 FR 48348, September 15, 1997). These guidelines are codified at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Ce and incorporated by reference in 25 Pa. Code § 122.3. These Emission Guidelines apply to all existing HMIWI units, which have commenced construction on or before June 20, 1996.

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has determined that the affected HMIWI units listed as follows are subject to the Emission Guidelines. New or revised Federally enforceable State operating permits (FESOP), Title V Operating Permits or Plan Approvals, when necessary, will be submitted to the EPA as the legally enforceable mechanism to implement the Subpart Ce requirements.

SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT

PLAN APPROVAL


Plan approval granted under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20).

   Regional Office:  Water Management Program Manager, Southcentral Region, 909 Elmerton Ave., Harrisburg, PA 17110.

   The approved plan provides for selection of a gravity sewage collection system to replace the previously selected low pressure/gravity hybrid collection system. Additionally, the previous implementation schedule has been compressed to provide immediate public sewer service in areas previously identified for it in the 5 to 10 year time frame. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. Any required NPDES Permits or WQM Permits must be obtained in the name of the municipality or authority as appropriate.
